Re: How do you scout Defense?

When looking at defensive scouting, there are defensive oriented robots, and then there are robots that would be good at defense.

Like for example, there is the general mean bot that just sits in the home zone and pushes around robots. Then there's the robot with a mediocre offense, but a drive train that can easily push around anyone.

Two key examples. In the MSC finals, 217 played defense while 67 and the 3rd bot (sorry I can't remember their team number) played offense (to some degree). In Palmetto finals, we choose team 1398 to primarily aid in defense and home zone clean up. Both robots had VERY strong drive trains and BOTH robots played exceptional matches.
